Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl has served as an imperial summer residence in Upper Austria’s Salzkammergut since the 19th century. Set where the Ischl meets the Traun, it belongs to a region shaped by Alpine lakes, salt production and long-established spa traditions. The Kaiservilla was the summer home of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth; in 1914, Franz Joseph signed Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war on Serbia there. Café Zauner continues a local confectionery tradition dating to 1832. Bad Ischl and the Salzkammergut held the European Capital of Culture title in 2024.
